Our Team

Brandon's journey in hospitality began at a 111-room Hampton by Hilton in Central Nebraska, where he joined the team as a front desk associate. It didn't take long for his dedication, work ethic, and genuine passion for serving others to set him apart. Brandon quickly advanced to Guest Service Supervisor, overseeing all front desk operations while earning a reputation as someone who was always willing to step in wherever he was needed. Whether working a late-night shift at the front desk or returning before sunrise to prepare and serve breakfast, he embraced every opportunity to support both his team and his guests. It was during this time that Brandon discovered a career he never knew he was destined to love.

After a few years, Brandon was ready to expand his experience and challenge himself in new ways. When a management opportunity became available at a sister property, he eagerly accepted the role and transitioned to the Fairfield by Marriott. There, he crossed paths with a Task Force Manager who introduced him to the many avenues for growth within the hospitality industry. Inspired by the opportunity to make an even greater impact, Brandon joined Slate Hospitality Group as a Property Support Manager, embarking on a role that would broaden both his experience and perspective.

While as a Property Support Manager with Slate Hospitality Group since July 2024, Brandon traveled to 13 properties across seven states, partnering with hotel teams to ensure operational excellence and exceptional guest experiences. His work has included training newly hired General Managers and hotel associates, stepping in as interim General Manager during leadership transitions, and providing operational support while General Managers were away. Each assignment has reinforced his belief that strong leadership begins with investing in people and building teams that are confident, knowledgeable, and empowered to succeed.

As Regional Director of Operations, Brandon is passionate about developing leaders, strengthening hotel operations, and creating a culture where both team members and guests thrive. He believes that consistent training, mentorship, and accountability are the foundation of long-term success and is committed to helping every property reach its fullest potential. Beyond the walls of each hotel, Brandon is equally dedicated to building meaningful relationships within the communities his teams serve, reflecting Slate Hospitality Group's commitment to being a valued local partner.

Brandon has never met a stranger. His outgoing personality, approachable leadership style, and natural ability to make people laugh allow him to build lasting relationships with guests, team members, and business partners alike. He believes that hospitality is about creating an environment where everyone feels welcomed, valued, and at home—even when they're miles away from their own.

A Nebraska transplant, Brandon was born and raised in the Sunshine State of Florida, where his love for family and the beach first began. While the Midwest is now home, he still cherishes every opportunity to spend time with his loved ones and return to the water whenever he can.
